When the tower drum 1 is subjected to external strong wind load and the vibration amplitude is large, and there is a deviation of more than 5° between the vibration direction of the tower drum 1 and the direction in which the mover plate 34 in the cross-type linear motor 3 can move, the vibration-angle sensor sends a signal to the control system of the tower base.

The mover plate 34 applies the reverse electromagnetic force of the vibration to the tower drum 1.

[0050] 5. When there is no wind and the vibration of the tower drum 1 is small, the locking device 312 can be used to lock the mover plate 34 to prevent the mover plate 34 from moving in the cross-type linear motor 3.
